Also known as Ye Zhisheng!
In other words, he was the teacher who guided Ye Ming onto the path of immortality.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Ming was greatly shocked.
At the same time, if one thought about certain matters more deeply, it was truly chilling.
Ye Zhisheng!
He was a person from a hundred thousand years ago.
And it was this very person who, after a hundred thousand years, became Ye Ming's teacher through inheritance.
Furthermore, he established an organization called the "Inheritance Guardians."
Inheritance! Guardians!
When broken down like this, doesn't it send a shiver down your spine?
To guard the inheritance!
This was the mission of this organization.
In other words, as early as a hundred thousand years ago, Ye Zhisheng had already begun to lay his plans.
And Ye Ming, a hundred thousand years later, had become the initiator of this grand scheme.
Of course!
Whether Ye Ming was also a chess piece was hard to say.
According to Ye Ming's knowledge, his teacher had perished ten years ago. And at the time of his demise, his cultivation was only at the Xiantian realm.
He hadn't even reached the Tianren realm.
If that was the case, then the question arose.
How, with Ye Zhisheng's Xiantian realm cultivation, could he have planned for events a hundred thousand years into the future?
Such a scheme, which surpassed the understanding of immortal cultivation, was impossible not only for Ye Zhisheng, a mere Xiantian realm powerhouse, but even for those ancient figures who had attained the Renxian realm.
One hundred thousand years!
What a terrifying span of time. In this period, countless variables could have occurred.
With so many unknown factors, how could Ye Zhisheng have meticulously laid plans for the future?
All of this was shrouded in mystery.
However, to put it another way, no matter how bizarre and incredible everything seemed. It had indeed happened, a hundred thousand years later, in the present.
And Ye Ming!
Was its initiator!
...
"Chi Rui, think about it. Since Ye Qingzhu is a member of the 'Inheritance Guardians' organization, she should understand Ye Ming's bestowed destiny better than anyone," Xia Baiyi's tone became solemn. "However, according to the original trajectory of destiny, she absolutely should not have appeared before Ye Ming at this time."
"And she even told him some truths! Think about it, doesn't all of this seem too strange!"
Upon hearing Xia Baiyi's words, Su Chi Rui's beautiful eyes widened, and a thunderclap seemed to descend upon her mind: "That's right! If we followed the original path of destiny, they should have observed from the shadows, allowing Brother to continue spreading immortal cultivation knowledge to the world, and not interfere!"
But now, Ye Qingzhu not only interfered but even revealed some of the truth.
Weren't they afraid that Ye Ming would abandon his mission, thereby forcing the spread of immortal cultivation knowledge to a halt?
One must understand that the immortal cultivation knowledge Ye Ming was currently imparting was disguised as "ancient martial arts."
For all of humanity to truly step into the era of immortal cultivation, a huge turning point was yet to be experienced.
That was the transition from "ancient martial arts" to "immortal cultivation."
Currently, people had already accepted the existence of ancient martial arts. As long as Ye Ming continued to expand his influence, the path of "immortal cultivation" could be gradually popularized.
As long as it was a gradual process, and people were made to accept it through appropriate means.
It was believed that in a not-too-distant future, the "Era of Immortal Cultivation" would descend.
However, Ye Qingzhu's sudden appearance now seemed rather abrupt.
It clearly contradicted the "destiny" they believed in.
"Bai Yi! It seems we're on the same page!"
After listening to Su Chi Rui and Xia Baiyi, Ye Ming was convinced that Xia Baiyi's point of curiosity was the same as his.
"Me too!"
Su Chi Rui, standing between them, raised her hand high. Her gaze flickered between the two, and she immediately became a little dissatisfied: "You and I are thinking the same thing!"
Her expression suggested she was afraid her newly recognized brother would be snatched away, a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"Oh! Then tell us!"
Ye Ming ruffled Su Chi Rui's small head and asked with a smile.
Su Chi Rui seemed to enjoy this intimate gesture. During this time, she even winked at Xia Baiyi, her smugness written all over her face.
Xia Baiyi could only shake her head helplessly.
She realized that after her best friend had recognized Ye Ming, her personality had undergone a complete 180-degree change.
The previous Su Chi Rui would never have displayed such a delicate and tsundere demeanor.
That's right!
In Xia Baiyi's view, every action of Su Chi Rui was akin to acting spoiled towards Ye Ming.
This was truly subverting her expectations.
"Brother! Since Ye Qingzhu appeared at this time and dared to tell you the truth! There's only one reason I can think of..."
Returning to the main topic, Su Chi Rui was no longer the "spoiled sister" but filled with wisdom: "That is, the destiny they believe in has encountered a variable!"
A variable has appeared!
Upon hearing Su Chi Rui's words, Ye Ming was slightly surprised.
And he had to admit, Su Chi Rui was indeed correct.
Ye Ming had thought the same thing.
"Amazing! Chi Rui!"
Ye Ming looked at his spoiled sister with newfound admiration.
"Hehe! This is quite easy to guess!"
Su Chi Rui beamed with pride upon hearing Ye Ming's praise.
Seeing this, Xia Baiyi covered her forehead, speechless.
She was not surprised at all that Su Chi Rui had guessed this variable. She had no doubt about the other's intelligence and wisdom.
What left her speechless was that Su Chi Rui, in front of Ye Ming, had completely lost her "flaming queen" aura.
She had truly become a tsundere sister who constantly craved her brother's praise.
"It's over!"
Xia Baiyi felt that the previous Su Chi Rui was gone forever.
"Bai Yi! What's wrong?"
Su Chi Rui seemed to notice Xia Baiyi's strange gaze and looked genuinely confused.
"Don't talk to me! I don't know you!"
Xia Baiyi inwardly looked down on her best friend who had lost her "spine."
"???"
Su Chi Rui blinked her eyes, looking utterly innocent.
"I..."
This innocent look made Xia Baiyi freeze; she was truly at a loss for words.
"Oh! I know!"
Seeing that Xia Baiyi didn't even dare to look at her, Su Chi Rui suddenly seemed to understand something.
"You... you know what?"
For some reason, Xia Baiyi suddenly had a bad feeling.
She felt truly "unfamiliar" with the current Su Chi Rui.
She had no idea what the other would do next.
Meanwhile, Ye Ming, standing beside them, felt a little bewildered himself!
When did the atmosphere become so... strange.
"Bai Yi! I understand everything!"
Su Chi Rui nudged Xia Baiyi with her elbow, winked again, and raised her eyebrows: "But I'm the sister! You don't need to worry!"
"Worry about what...?"
Xia Baiyi completely couldn't keep up with Su Chi Rui's rhythm anymore.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! Bai Yi! My dear best friend! Didn't I tell you, I'm the sister!" Su Chi Rui said earnestly: "You don't need to be jealous of me!"
"???" Xia Baiyi.
